38n^2 + 304n - 128 = -2n^2
OpenStudy (moongazer):
Please help :)
hero (hero):
1. Add 2n^2 to both sides first
OpenStudy (moongazer):
please continue :)
OpenStudy (moongazer):
I got 40n^2 + 304n - 128 = 0

2. Factor out 8
OpenStudy (moongazer):
8(5n^2 + 38n - 32)
hero (hero):
You forgot the equal zero part
OpenStudy (moongazer):
8(5n^2 + 38n - 32) = 0
hero (hero):
3. Divide both sides by 8

w8 I think I got something wrong
hero (hero):
32 x 8 = 256
That definitely isn't right
hero (hero):
Did you figure out what you did wrong yet?
OpenStudy (moongazer):
it should be 8(5n^2 + 38n - 16) right?
hero (hero):
equal zero :/

You keep forgetting the equal zero
OpenStudy (moongazer):
ok, I'll just try to solve it.
I think I am getting confused because I divided 128 by 8 wrongly :)
I'll just ask you if am I stuck with some part :)
OpenStudy (moongazer):
8(5n-2)(n+8)=0
(5n-2)(n+8)=0
n=2/5 , n=-8
Is this correct?
OpenStudy (moongazer):
Thanks!
I believe it is correct :)
hero (hero):
It's correct. Good job
